adam mccartney: oek

Adam McCartney's Oek is a collection of six pieces. The name is a reference to the Tuvan word for "yurt", or quite simply, the idea of "home". The pieces are constructed using very simple material -- scales, built from tetrachords and suspensions, blend the intervals of the chromatic field together. This abstract material is tempered, in turn, by the sounds of the instruments. Artwork by Adam McCartney. Executive producer: Slobodan Kajkut. Personnel: Matej Bunderla - alto and tenor saxophones; Ivan Trenev - accordion; Adam McCartney - harmonium.
